text: Remote<p>This might be a weird one. I&#x27;m looking for a flexible, experienced full-stack developer to maintain my set of 4-5 personal projects while I continue to work on my startup. Most of these projects are low traffic and only need a bug fix or small new feature, but there&#x27;s also one with complex JS and a significant following. I&#x27;m paying for this work personally.<p>Looking for someone with 5+ years of experience with Python&#x2F;Django and JS, with some TS experience as well; able to think independently and make good code architecture decisions; and ideally able to make not-terrible UX decisions, but that&#x27;s not a requirement. As I&#x27;m working on a startup full-time, you must occasionally be willing to explore possible solutions on your own and present synthesized options when there&#x27;s uncertainty.<p>In return, I&#x27;m willing to pay a high market hourly rate, and you can have total flexibility over how many hours per week you work. Want to take a few weeks off? Sure! From my perspective, the engagement will still be a net win over the zero hours I&#x27;m able to put in. Want to work 30 hours a week for several months? Also great! One of the projects has an arbitrarily long roadmap.<p>Please email bitrot@gmail.com if you&#x27;re at all curious and let&#x27;s chat.

text: Remote (US, UK, EU timezones preferred)<p>Looking for senior frontend engineer and&#x2F;or someone with experience developing Google Sheets extensions.<p>At Splitgraph (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.splitgraph.com" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.splitgraph.com</a>) we&#x27;re building a platform for data cataloging, integration and governance. The basic idea is that the user can connect live data to Splitgraph, or upload versioned snapshots called “data images”. Then we give them a unified SQL interface to query all that data, a catalog to discover and share it, and tools to build&#x2F;push&#x2F;pull it.<p>We want to hire a Senior Frontend Engineer to contract with us and help with two projects.<p>- (a) Google Sheets extension. We want to build a Google Sheets extension for executing SQL queries against the Splitgraph Data Delivery Network (&quot;DDN&quot;, the public Postgres endpoint). This will probably mean sending SQL queries to our SQL-over-HTTP API [0], although if you could get an ODBC driver to work with Google Sheets, you could connect directly via SQL to the DDN. We&#x27;ll also need to figure out how to integrate auth &#x2F; UI with the main site.<p>- (b) Taking over the frontend &#x2F; marketing website at splitgraph.com. This is a next.js &#x2F; react project with some custom functionality for compiling our documentation to create the static site. The code [1] is kind of messy, but you can help with it! We&#x27;re looking for someone to take over maintenance of this stack and assist with the upcoming redesign. This would be a medium to long-term project.<p>If you&#x27;re interested in either of these projects (or both), please email careers [AT] splitgraph.com. The subject line should include &quot;Freelancer - Frontend&quot; and the body of the email should include which project(s) you want to work on.
